    Are Key and Pitch the same thing?

    No, they're not! Pitch is the highness or lowness of a specific note, typically expressed as a pitch letter name and octave number (like A4). You may play in the key of A major, for example, which means that: A will serve as "home base" (musicians call that the "tonic"); and the music will be built on the A major scale (comprised of the pitches A B C# D E F# and G#).
